sync: Fix a bug that caused files to be removed from an importtree=yes
exporttree=yes special remote when the remote's annex-tracking-branch was
not the currently checked out branch.

* sync: When run in a view branch, refresh the view branch to reflect any
changes that have been made to the parent branch or metadata.
This is basically working, but probably needs some more work to deal with
all the edge cases of things sync does.

* sync: Avoid pushing view branches to remotes.
* Changed the name of view branches to include the parent branch.
Existing view branches checked out using an old name will still work.
It does not seem useful for sync to push view branches around, because
the information in a view branch can entirely be derived from other
information in git. And sync doesn't push adjusted branches around either.
The better view branch names make it more in line with adjusted branch
names, but were also needed to make fromViewBranch be able to return the
original branch name.
Kept the old view branch names still working. But, when those branches
exist in a repo, sync will still try to push them as before. Avoiding
that would need more complicated and/or expensive changes to sync.

And also to vadd usage.
Also added some other things to the usage that were omitted before to
save space.
Adding even FIELD?=GLOB made the git-annex --help list of commands grow
too wide for an 80 column display. So, removed the description of
parameters from that list of commands.

* view: New field?=glob and ?tag syntax that includes a directory "_"
in the view for files that do not have the specified metadata set.
* Added annex.viewunsetdirectory git config to change the name of the
"_" directory in a view.
When in a view using the new syntax, old git-annex will fail to parse the
view log. It errors with "Not in a view.", which is not ideal. But that
only affects view commands.
annex.viewunsetdirectory is included in the View for a couple of reasons.
One is to avoid needing to warn the user that it should not be changed when
in a view, since that would confuse git-annex. Another reason is that it
helped with plumbing the value through to some pure functions.
annex.viewunsetdirectory is actually mangled the same as any other view
directory. So if it's configured to something like "N/A", there won't be
multiple levels of directories, which would also confuse git-annex.

S3: Support a region= configuration useful for some non-Amazon S3
implementations. This feature needs git-annex to be built with aws-0.24.
datacenter= sets both the AWS hostname and region in one setting, which is
easy when using AWS, but not useful for other hosts. So kept datacenter
as-is, but added this additional config.
